Melody Cool Lyrics

I've seen a many bridges in my time And crossed every one of 'em with no trouble at all (yeah {x7}) I had trials and tribulations Heartaches and pains (Well, that's alright!) (A lot of adversity) Survived 'em all baby (Uh huh, say it, say it, girl) Hmph, I'm still Melody, and I'm still cool (Melody Cool) (Yeah, yeah, ha ha ha...) Ow!

(Melody) (Oh!) {repeated in background} They call me Melody Cool I was here long before U If U're good I will love ya but I'm nobody's fool I'm Melody Cool

When I was born there were tidal waves Whole town went under, nobody saved At every funeral it rained Every time I sang - Melody Cool

Ow! (Hark, Melody!) Looka here, young'un Let me give U a piece of good advice And I do get paid for counseling, huh It ain't no big I's and little U's in my life So that's why U see they call me Melody Cool (Melody Cool) I was here long before U (Long before U) If U're good I will love U but I'm nobody's fool (What?) I'm Melody Cool Ow!
